Loving the hobby but feeling left behind—any tips for managing a 250GB Xbox One setup?

Hey everyone,
I’m posting here because gaming isn't just a casual hobby for me—it’s my genuine passion. Whenever life gets overwhelming or I have trouble expressing myself, dropping into a game is the one thing that truly works. It’s my creative outlet and my escape.
Right now, though, I’m hitting a bit of a wall with my setup. I’m still rocking an original Xbox One while sitting in an old IKEA rocking chair. I try to make it work, but the biggest hurdle is that my console only has about 250 GB of storage left, and I don't currently have Game Pass. Because of that, I've been feeling incredibly left out lately. My friends all have the pass and constantly play together, and it hurts a bit to always have to sit on the sidelines while the squad hangs out.
I really want to figure out how to get back into the loop or at least make the most of what I have. Does anyone have any good tips on how to maximize a tiny 250 GB hard drive? Are there any highly optimized or smaller-sized multiplayer games you'd recommend that don't take up massive space?
I just wanted to thank everyone in this community who took some of their time to read this. It means a lot just to share this with people who get how much gaming means to someone.
Stay safe and happy gaming, everyone.
